Just for fun, how much you have on fully charged battery ?

Here are some conversion units

According to this site:
http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/energy#tntkg
__________________________________________________
|
| 1 wh = 0.00078 kg of TNT
|
| 1kg TNT = 1300wh
|
| 1wh= 3.6kJ (3600sec = 1h = 3600Joules( 1J =1w/s))
|
| 1kg TNT = 1300wh
|_________________________________________________


Actually i have 390Wh (keeping safe discharge voltage)


= 0.3kg of TNT
= 340000 calories = 2 regular slice of pizza 8)

Calories and kilocalories (in nutrition kilocalorie is used as calorie)

if you read my profile you will learn that : If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb+

170,000 calories is one awesome slice of pizza! Since there are, on average 290 calories in a slice of pepperoni pizza, that would be the equivalent of 586 regular sized pizzas or 3,516 slices.
Unless I've made a conversion error.

Yes, there's an error. A slice of pizza contains about 290,000 calories, not 290. See doc's comment about kilocalories or:
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/tutorial_calories.html
"Because calories and joules are so small, when referring to food and energy expenditure it has become common practice to refer to them in multiples of 1,000. The term for 1,000 calories is kilocalories or kcal, and the term for 1,000 joules is kilojoules or kJ."

I'm carrying 2,500 watt-hours, a bit under 2kg of TNT, and 2,200 kilocalories, or one 14" cheese pizza:

My pizza is recharging right now cuz I ate a few slices of it during yesterday's ride. :D

A quick watt-hour to kilocalorie converter:

Now calculate how much gas you create during one ride, and how much you already have stored. Then design a contraption to harness this gas and put it to use powering your bike. You can have the world's first (and hopefully only) electric/pedal/human gas powered bike. :D
 
OK, today I have learned something early so now I can go ahead and take my nap.

May you dream of large battery packs. :D

Which do you think would have more destructive power in a bar? 1 pound of TNT, or 3 and a half beers and an angry drunk with a broken pool cue?

Why don't you devise a test to find out? Here's one idea: put on your beer-bong welding helmet, suck down 3.5 beers, pull out this year's tax forms and read them over 3 times, then pick a fight at the local tavern. Have a buddy take video of the aftermath, and then compare to photos of the damage done by one pound of TNT.
 
if the guy is built like Arnold Shwarzenegger and angry i'm pretty sure he could do more damage than the TNT. on the other hand the TNT will do it in fractions of a second. it'll take arnie just a bit longer.

that would also be the differenence between Deflagration (ie. arnie) and Detonation (ie. TNT) both may release the same amount of energy just the time span is different.

Your other numbers check out, but even farting continuously at 10 watts your output would be <1 megawatthour per decade, and one kiloton atomic bombs release >1 megawatt-hour of energy. If you fart more than that, you'd be locked up as a national resource!

How does nutrition affect hair and why is protein important in your diet? this is for a cosmetology report on hair care. I need to report on how nutrition affects hair and why protein is important in your diet. Please help me with this question, i can not find it anywhere, not even in the cosmetology book.
Doc,didn't you do your thesis for your doctorate on this?The Li-POperoni pizza effect on hair growth and caloric proteins as methane production increases?
